Benefits of technology

[0007] Accordingly, a primary object of the present invention is to provide an improved sealing gasket for cables, including a pair of generally rectangular gasket sections formed of a compressible material and having planar surfaces that contain transverse recesses extending completely thereacross, which sections include integral compressible projections that extend from

Problems solved by technology

One disadvantage to the known gasket devices is that occasionally leakages develop along the inside circumference of the annular seals in the part of the system adjacent the cable.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] Referring first more particularly to FIGS. 1-3, the gasket seal means 10 of the present invention is operable to mount an electrical cable 4 within an opening 6 contained in the front wall 2a of a rigid housing 2. The housing 2, which may be formed of a metal or synthetic plastic material, includes a base portion 2 having vertical side walls 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2d and a bottom wall 2e that cooperate to define an open-topped chamber 54. A lid member 3 is fastened by screw fasteners (not shown)to the upper part of the base portion 2 to close the chamber 54. The circumferential surface of the wall opening 6 contains a groove 7 that divides the front wall 2a into a pair of wall portions 8 and 9. In accordance with a characterizing feature of the present invention, the gasket seal means 10 includes a pair of gasket sections 12 and 13 that are pivotally connected together by integral hinge means 20 in the form of a resilient connecting strip. Thus, as shown in FIG. 2, to mount the cabl...

Abstract

A compressible sealing gasket for supporting a cable in a wall opening contained in a housing wall includes a pair of gasket sections each having a planar surface that contains a recess, and at least one integral compressible sealing projection extending from the planar surface adjacent the recess. When the gasket sections are placed in an assembled condition with their planar surfaces in contiguous engagement, the recesses cooperate to define a cable opening for receiving a cable, and the projection is compressed between the gasket sections to seal the space between the gasket sections adjacent the cable opening. Preferably two laterally spaced integral sealing ribs are provided in each recess, which sealing ribs extend transversely completely across the recess and terminate at each end in a sealing projection that extends upwardly from the associated planar surface.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] Compressible sealing gasket means are provided for supporting a cable in a wall opening contained in a housing wall, including a pair of gasket sections each having a planar surface that contains a recess, and at least one integral compressible sealing projection extending from the planar surface adjacent the recess. When the gasket sections are placed with their planar surfaces in contiguous engagement, the recesses cooperate to define in the gasket a cable opening for receiving the cable, the projection being compressed between the gasket sections to seal the space between the gasket sections adjacent the cable opening. Preferably two spaced integral sealing ribs are provided in each recess, which sealing ribs extend transversely completely across the recess and terminate at each end in a sealing projection that extends upwardly from the associated planar surface. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] It is ...
